- These glasses depict people and objects that are important to the history of pharmacy 
- The manual included explains all of the designs; in the last photograph I have pictures of both the front and the backs to show you how the glasses look up close

Signs of Wear: 
- Green glass: is missing an extremely small amount of black paint on the right side of the beaker top 
- White glass: there is a manufacturing flaw in this paint, the printing was a little off however you can not tell unless you compare the manual images to the glass (still looks great!) 
- The box is obviously a little worn 
- The manual has two small tears on the edge of the front cover, however they are not close to any images or words.
